Errors

In the book, there's a map clearly showing that there is grass growing in Jellyfish Fields, SpongeBob's grandma's house, Mrs. Puff's house and Sandy's treedome. However, on page 22, "Sandys treedome", it says that Sandy's treedome was the only place under the sea were you'd find grass growing.
